Course Overview
The course on Bloodborne Pathogens in the Workplace given by American Institute of Safety Professionals teaches the Bloodborne Pathogens Standard (OSHA) §1910.1030 and how it protects workers from job-related exposure to human blood and other infectious materials. The course teaches identification and control of bloodborne pathogens (HIV and HBV) and the bloodborne pathogens potential action. Classroom work includes exposure incidents, decontamination and safe handling, storage, disposal, laundering of sharps, and trash that became contaminated. As decontamination materials become contaminated, the classroom teaches safe transport within a facility. The course explains the employer’s duty to prepare an Exposure Control Plan (ECP) and discusses integrated ECP elements, including risk assessment, employee education, training, and hand hygiene, vaccination, and needle stick injury follow-up. The course teaches safe and effective blood and body fluid exposure control, and implements hand-hygiene, and safe needle-less system innovations. The course teaches key definitions of “occupational exposure”, “contaminated sharps,” and “engineering controls,” allowing participants to adopt effective strategies to prevent infection. When finished, learners will be able to identify possible exposure risks, implement OSHA-compliant safety measures, and create a biological safety culture in healthcare, laboratory, and other workplaces, protecting all staff from bloodborne infectious hazards.
